Here's my plan to hold Congress' big spenders accountable - and get transparency for American taxpayers
Fox News
Sen. Rand Paul says he has a plan that would give lawmakers ample time to read the bills before they vote and increase transparency and incentivize legislation to be shorter.
The American people deserve to know where their money is going.
But do you really think there is a single person in the United States who actually believes that Congress is filled with speed readers capable of digesting thousands of pages in a matter of hours? Probably not. But the big spenders of both parties in Washington love keeping that under wraps. In fact, they bank on it – literally and figuratively.
For what it’s worth, I have legislation in the Senate to fix the issue, a resolution to give members ample time to read the bills before they vote. It would also increase transparency and incentivize legislation to be shorter.
